Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of printed circuit board manufacturing technology, and in particular to a processing and manufacturing method for accurately exposing copper in a step groove of a multi-layer circuit board. Background Art

[0002] Circuit boards can be called printed circuit boards or printed circuit boards. They are important electronic components, supporting electronic components and providing electrical connections for electronic components. Circuit boards include single-layer circuit boards and multi-layer circuit boards. Multi-layer circuit boards often have step grooves designed to expose copper at the bottom of the step grooves because they need to connect components, so as to achieve the purpose of connection and conduction.

[0003] Conventional step groove processing methods are mostly to first drill a mechanical through groove, then measure the required depth of the step groove by slicing, and then use a mill to fix the depth to process the step groove. However, because the dielectric layers and copper thickness of multi-layer circuit boards have a certain fluctuation range, this processing method cannot accurately expose the copper at the bottom of the step groove, which can easily affect the electrical connection between the multi-layer circuit board and electronic components, and ultimately cause the circuit board to malfunction. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a processing and manufacturing method for accurately exposing copper in step grooves of multi-layer circuit boards in response to the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0005] A method for processing and manufacturing a step groove of a multi-layer circuit board to accurately expose copper, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Making a multi-layer circuit board, first designing and making a multi-layer circuit board, the multi-layer circuit board is formed by a plurality of copper layers and dielectric layers being alternately laminated in sequence, and the multi-layer circuit board is also provided with a through groove processing position and a step groove processing position, the step groove processing position is arranged adjacent to the through groove processing position;

[0007] Step 2: Processing a blind groove, first processing a blind groove at the step groove processing position, and retaining a dielectric layer at the bottom of the blind groove;

[0008] Step 3: Processing a through groove, processing a through groove at the through groove processing position, wherein the through groove passes through two sides of the multi-layer circuit board and is connected with the blind groove;

[0009] Step 4: Step groove forming: the blind groove is processed again by laser drilling to remove the dielectric layer retained at the bottom and expose the copper layer to form the final step groove.

[0010] Furthermore, in step 2, the thickness of the dielectric layer retained at the bottom of the blind groove is 0.1 mm to 0.15 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, in step 2 and step 3, the blind groove and the through groove are processed by mechanical drilling.

[0012] Furthermore, after step 4, the residual glue residue in the step groove is cleaned by plasma cleaning.

[0013] In summary, the beneficial effect of the processing and manufacturing method of the step groove of a multi-layer circuit board of the present invention for accurately exposing copper is that by first processing the blind groove, retaining the dielectric layer between the groove bottom and the bottom copper, then processing the mechanical through groove, and then continuing to process the blind groove with a laser drill until the bottom copper leaks out, and finally plasma cleaning the residual glue at the bottom of the step groove, the bottom of the step groove can be accurately exposed to copper, and the problem of the bottom copper skin flaring and warping can be avoided; the practicality of the present invention is strong and has a strong promotion significance.
